Volume 1: Peaceful Childhood Chapter 36: Banquet (Second Update)

  The beam of light flashed and moved to the stairs at the edge of the stage. As the lights came on, everyone saw two people standing at the top of the stairs.

  A little boy in a black suit, with a cute black bow tie on his white shirt. Beside him was a little girl who was one head shorter than him. When they saw the little girl, all the guests present held their breath.

  What a fairy-like and dreamy person she is. With just a simple white gauze dress and white crystal sandals, her black hair was coiled up, with a few strands of green silk hanging down from her temples. Except for the white jade bracelet on her hand that shone together with her skin, there was not a single superfluous ornament on her body. Her snow-white skin was almost transparent under the light, and her exquisite face showed off an unparalleled beauty that could overthrow a city.

  At this time, the little girl who was walking down the stairs step by step was like a master of ceremonies calling out, Little Princess, no, everyone even felt that she was more noble than the princess, with an ethereal and refined expression that made people feel unreal.

  Yun Qingran stood on the stage, walked to the microphone that had been prepared for her in advance, and a soft, pleasant voice like a nightingale's rang out: "Thank you, uncles and aunts, for attending Qingran's birthday party. Here, I'd like to present a piano piece as a token of gratitude."

  As for Yun Qingran's words at this time, everyone didn't feel anything wrong with them, because of her temperament, everyone forgot about her age at this moment.

  Yun Liran walked to the piano after finishing her speech. She didn't like this kind of party, feeling hypocritical, but this time it was to announce that Yun Xi and Chen Chen were already married, and also for her sake. Children without fathers are often isolated in their childhood, everyone hopes she has a beautiful childhood, although she doesn't care. Since it's for the sake of her childhood, she'll bring everyone a childhood song.

  The beautiful and soothing piano sound started, everyone fell into the memories of their good childhood, with a look of intoxication on their faces, until the music ended without waking up.

  "Clap, clap, clap", a crisp applause broke out, startling the intoxicated crowd, followed by a warm and enthusiastic round of applause.

  Yun Qingran looked at the person who clapped first, wearing a black suit with a cold and expressionless face, his mouth slightly raised. Yun Fei had just arrived from the airport and heard such a moving piano sound. Although he knew that Yun Qingran could play the piano, he had never heard it before. This niece always brought surprises and surprises to people.

  Looking at Yun Fei flying, a warm feeling flashed in her eyes. Whether it was before or now, Little Uncle had always been very good to her, and this time he hurried over for her birthday. Yun Chenyi had returned to Old Man Yun's side, and the host had also come back to his senses, continuing to host.

  "What a wonderful music, it brings back the good memories of our childhood. The little princess is really amazing. Now, let's bring out the birthday cake, please welcome the parents of our little princess to come up and cut the cake together with her."

  As the host spoke, a waiter pushed a cart with cake on it, and Yun Xi and Chen Chen also came up together to stand beside Yun Qing Ran.

  "Today is the birthday of our little princess, and we also want to announce that I and Yún Xī have already gotten married. Since we didn't hold a wedding ceremony, we're taking this opportunity on our little treasure's birthday party to invite everyone." The speaker was Chén Chán, representing the head of the household. Yún Qīng Rán could see the disappointed gazes of many men and women present, it seemed that both of them had not a few admirers.

  Suddenly, Yun Qingyan felt a bundle of jealous eyes on her. Following the gaze, she saw a little girl who was about the same age as her, originally quite cute, but because of jealousy, her face was twisted and looked ferocious. Such a young girl... Yun Qingyan sighed in her heart, wanting to see who her parents were, but when she saw those two figures, she was slightly stunned. It turned out to be them.

  The girl didn't expect Yun Qingran to see her so quickly, but she didn't hold back and instead glared at Yun Qingran with even more malice. The dazzling Yun Qingran instantly overshadowed her brilliance, why could she make so many people admire her, why could she dress up more beautifully than her, why could she receive so much pampering, and even have a birthday party held just for her? She was just the unwanted child of her father, why could she live better than her? Before coming, her mother had already told her about Yun Qingran's identity as the main protagonist of today's party. Originally dissatisfied with Yun Qingran, she became even more jealous when she saw her. Because in her family, the most pampered one was her genius younger brother, followed by her older cousin.

  Yun Qingran thought that there should be another boy, and her eyes searched around the two adults. Indeed, she saw the boy beside them. The boy's expression was very cold, his gaze also light, but she didn't have any bad feelings towards him. Perhaps he felt her gaze, he suddenly looked up at her, his head having been lowered until then. Seeing his slightly dazed expression, Yun Qingran smiled lightly in her eyes, and then shifted her gaze away.

  Under everyone's gaze, Yun Qingran grasped the knife with both hands and cut down the cake together with Yun Xichen and Chen Chen. Suddenly, a round of applause erupted.

  The cake was cut, and soft music started playing. Yún Xī and Chén Jiàng walked down from the stage, leading the first dance. The lights on the stage also dimmed, and she quietly walked to a dark corner of the stage.

  Li Huatian gazed at the beautiful red figure in the dance pool, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes. She should be his, yet she was so openly declaring her marriage to someone else, even letting her own daughter call another man "Dad". How could he just let them be together?

  Li Ming Xing's face was expressionless, but her eyes took in the look in Li Hua Tian's eyes, as well as the jealousy on her mother and sister's faces. Was she really that ugly, unwanted sister that her mother often talked about? If she was ugly, what about them? Especially when they spoke with such disdain and now showed such envy, which made them even uglier. He suddenly felt disgusted at being born into such a selfish and arrogant family.

  After the dance, Yun Xi and Chen Cheng's close friends came forward to congratulate Yun Qingran, who had already walked off the stage, and presented her with small gifts. A few of those with children let their kids come forward to present the gifts.

  This era is still relatively simple, perhaps because of Yun Qingran's outstanding appearance, or maybe it's because of her calm temperament. Whether they are boys or girls, everyone is very sincere towards her.

  "Miss Yun, happy birthday." It wasn't until everyone around Yun Qingran had left that a person who had been hiding in the corner finally stepped forward.

  Digression

  I encountered a surprising thing at school, our linear algebra teacher and one of my classmates looked like clones, appearance, clothes, glasses, hair, even the tone of voice. Honestly, when I first saw the teacher, I was wondering when my classmate became a substitute teacher. It wasn't until later that my classmate next to me kept laughing, and I asked him what was going on. Haha... But our teacher is pretty weird, he changed the surnames of five classmates during roll call, and told us that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is a good show, and also talked about "Dragon Gate".
